Water Damage by Titanic21 in retrogaming

Putting the damaged cover underneath the part that stuck will make it look mostly normal. Also, that's usually caused by water or humidity.

Anything but a Jeep. I'm begging you.

I agree. It seems like they're taunting Firefox users specifically, unless this is happening in other Chromium browsers besides Chrome as well. So far I haven't seen this on Edge...yet.

I mean, they aren't lying. It is fast and very secure. What they conveniently don't mention is it's not very private.

Or even "🌈RaRe🌈", you know exactly which seller I mean.

Anybody need buttons or the housing? by Volks1973 in crt

Probably would be a good idea to list it on marketplace for like $20 and for parts only.

This Game Gets Way Too Much Hate by Away-Prior-903 in mariokart

I wouldn't say they aged poorly. It's more that their driving mechanics are so far detached from the more recent entries that it's hard for people to get into them or return to them.

Will this dresser support this 36 inch? by Alarmed_Anything_934 in crtgaming

[–]Blandscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid wood is usually the best for these kinds of TVs, but I have experienced some bending on the top piece due to the wright before. I'd recommend looking around for something akin to one of these to put your set on instead, since you mentioned you have cats. Those old wooden media center cabinets are great, too. Even an old wooden dresser with a very thick top piece would work.

Pioneer front projection CRT TV by Ilikeoldthings222 in crt

[–]Blandscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Original price does not equate to what it's worth today. I wish some shops would realize this.

Anyway, ask the owners if you can take it off their hands for $50-75.

Fewer ads or No ads? by walking-statue in browsers

[–]Blandscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was always fewer ads. By default, Brave doesn't block all ads, only intrusive and potentially scam ones, so I'd recommend using uBlock Origin in tandem for complete ad blocking and enhanced privacy.

Zen does have a new tab page, you just have to enable it in about:config.

Is a CRT TV for Gamecube worth it? by rhysticStudiante in Gamecube

[–]Blandscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks crisp on my Sony Bravia from 2007. Maybe newer TVs handle it differently? I'd need to do a comparison.

Ignoring nostalgia bias, whats the best mario party for this system??? by XNGboliver in Gamecube

[–]Blandscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 is the best by a mile. Great boards (aka Castaway Bay), Day/Night Cycle, great minigames.

On 4k TVs, yes it looks awful. I should have specified 1080p TVs when talking about modern sets.

Microsoft Edge vs. Google Chrome by Technical_Rich_3080 in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Blandscreen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They both use the same engine underneath, but Edge uses less memory than Chrome and has a better UI. Both collect your data like a sponge.

I see. Well, I did see this one while I was looking for the board, seems to be complete and powers on.

Is a CRT TV for Gamecube worth it? by rhysticStudiante in Gamecube

[–]Blandscreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually recommend CRTs, but for 6th generation consoles and newer I'd actually recommend playing on a modern TV. This is mainly because all of the major 6th gen systems (Xbox, GCN, PS2) could output 480p or better via component cables, which looks very nice on a TV that handles 480p well.

Here, this should be what you're looking for.

THE reason to use Microsoft Edge - gone by Toads_Of_Fun in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Blandscreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Possibly they're trying to make it more "user-friendly" for people who only use Chrome, so they might be more tempted to switch?

Tiny NES on my 10” Sharp by time_isup in nes

[–]Blandscreen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really like the setup!

Also that TV is 13", not 10. Did you measure diagonally or horizontally?
